Warm-up game: Rooster on the Roof

Coach calls out a warm-up activity:

  • jumping jacks, run, jog, skip, karaoke, high skips, sit-ups, push-ups, jump squats, duck walk...
When coach calls out one of the following, players must find enough people to complete the group.  If players are left over, they are out of the game and must continue to do the warm-up activity or a designated warm-up activity for the remainder of the game.  (example: when coach calls out a command, players out could have to pass of ball to themselves or jump rope...)

  • Row Boat: 5 players sitting on the floor and rowing a boat
  • Chicken on the roost: 2 players (one player knees on the floor while the other person knees on the partner and cuckadoodle-dos like a rooster
  • Wheel Barrow: 2 partners
  • Lovers leap: 2 partners (one partner jumps into the arms of another partner)
  • Broken Leg: 2 partners (each partner holds a leg of the partner so each person is standing on 1 leg)
  • Chow Time: 5 people eating

  1. I appreciate how simple yet effective this volleyball drill is. It’s perfect for warm-ups before matches and gets the team engaged right away. I might modify it by adding a conditioning element—maybe sprinting between reps to build endurance. Thoughts?
